I will be forever grateful to the staff of PBA

For me, this point is the one I want place the most emphasis on — as the sole parent of a boy at Pacific Boychoir Academy, I will be forever grateful to the staff of PBA for contributing so much to the development of my son, not just as a singer but as a human being. As PBA parents we know that our children are being taught to take responsibility for themselves and each other, that they are part of a community and their actions are important, whether they are on tour in a foreign country or transitioning from one classroom to another. Just watching them play basketball with each other during lunch reinforces my admiration for the way they treat each other with respect without condescension, the way they can compete and cooperate at the same time, and reinforces my esteem for the teachers and the staff that make this possible.
